European soccer's governing body
UEFA said Wednesday that there were no plans to hold Euro 2016
games behind closed doors after Tuesday's terrorist attacks in
Brussels.
Giancarlo Abete, a UEFA vice president and the former head
of the Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC), said Tuesday that it
was possible that closed-door matches would be necessary at the
tournament.
"We are totally confident that all the necessary security
measures will be in place to guarantee a festive, safe European
championship," UEFA told ANSA.
"Matches behind closed doors are not planned.
"We are working to address eventual emergency moments with
multiple scenarios regarding crisis situations in order to
protect the security of all participants, players, fans and so
on, in the most attentive, rigorous way".
